  Auge: Klares, intensives strohgelb
  
  Nase: Sauber. Mittlere Aromen von reife Birne, Zitrone, Vanille, Melone, Nuss, Quitte. Voll gereift.
  
  Gaumen: Trocken, hohe Säure, mittlerer (+) Körper mit mittleren Aromen reifer Birne, Melone, Zitrone, langer Abgang.
  
  (BLIK 1+1+0.75+0.75=3.5) Hervorragende Qualität. Wein ist perfekter Balance. Die präsente und sehr gut eingebundene Säure harmoniert mit dem Körper, der Aromatik und der Intensität. In der Aromatik keine Primärfrucht mehr, breites Spektrum von sekundären und tertiären Aromen. Leicht cremige, füllige Textur im Körper. Jetzt trinken, keine Reifepotential, aber noch 6-7 Jahre Lagerpotential

  Pale golden. Still fruit driven elderberry honey melon and pronounced roasted oak and vanilla. Full bodied with well balanced acidity and excellent length

  Gold in the glass. Slightly restrained nose but layered and complex. Spiced baked apple, honey biscuits, hazelnut and grilled pineapple. Full bodied. Fresh acidity. Long, savoury, nutty finish. Based on this sample, no reason to wait, in a great place to drink. Less expressive than other Chevalier blanc I've had but personally more enjoyable due to the level of development and nuance.
  
  WSET Notes:
  
  Medium gold.
  
  Medium plus intensity on the nose with lemon, peach, pineapple, baked apple, biscuit, cinammon, hazlenut, caramel, beeswax and honey. Fully developed.
  
  Pronounced and dry on the palate. Full body, high acidity, high alcohol, long finish.
  
  Can drink now but has potential for aging.

  Third time of tasting, this has delivered again, and is a real class act, and exceptional value for money. Taste profile is as previous note. It does benefit from decanting, and ideally with 2 or 3 hours of aeration.
